History

The league was founded in 2015 by Taylor Harris, who later left a career as an investment research analyst to focus on the organization full-time. [3] While it began in Utah, coverage has also placed the league’s operations in Dallas, Texas, [4] and in Arizona. [5]

FTL works with municipalities to coordinate food-truck participation in public events. [6] The organization also manages catering requests for private gatherings and workplace lunches. [2] The Food Truck League organizes recurring food-truck gatherings at venues along the Wasatch Front, including Salt Lake City’s Gallivan Center. [1] Local media have also covered its regular "League Night" events. [7]

Charitable efforts have included food-truck fundraisers [8] and coordinated delivery of meals to health-care workers at hospitals across Utah during the COVID-19 pandemic. [9]
